You have some bank robbing to do too. Iirc, the kit was upwards of 4k.


Edit: I was wrong. 6500 for the 4 wheel steering kit.

One of the inverse torx bolts on the transmission is stripped round. I got the drivers side out but not the passenger side. I've tried a 10mm and a 12mm bolt extractor socket, rounded them off more. I'm trying a dremel. To cut the head off but don't know how well it will work. Any other ideas?

Not really. Pull the fan and motor mounts and pull the engine forward so you can get to it better...

Pull the front clip and remove motor and tranny in one piece? A lot of work but seems he's f****** either way.

Don't pull it all the way out, just far enough forward to work... Yeah. Lots of work either way.

I believe I'd file the head off with a flat file by hand before I did that.

There IS a tool that'll make this possible The trick will be finding the right tool.
